In every instance I've configured DFSMS, DFSMS has always managed System Temporary Data Sets. ISV products that provide dynamic enhancements to the DFSMS structure (CA-Alloc and MAINVIEW SRM Allocation/StopX37/II are two such products) will continue to dynamically increase these and any other type of data set. The space coded in the JCL is always going to take precedence during initial allocation; unless your ISV product is coded to alter the primary and secondary amounts during allocation, but the ISV code can continue to add volumes, extend the data set if needed, reduce the secondary if needed, or whatever is required based on your install setups. In some cases the ISV product is more efficient in its methods of recovery than DFSMS.

This current state. As I move to SMS, I see that only a STORCLAS is assigned for these. If I understand correctly, this means that the space coded in the JCL is what you get. My options seem to be: 1) plow thru all System Temporary allocations being increased by CA-Allocate and update the JCL, or 2) Leave System Temporary datasets non-SMS. Am I on the right track? Do most of y'all make System Temporary dsns SMS-managed? Thanks!
